Do you even need that many ports on your PC? Maybe one or two is perfectly fine, we can make it thinner if we don’t have to put that many on it, and otherwise here’s this dongle for expanding the base ports. BTW you’ll need backlight in your keyboard, no opt out, it’ll change your life forever, just set a less flashy color scheme if rainbow vomit RGB is too much!
I work in a company that’s a couple thousand people, and the vast majority of them don’t plug anything into their laptops other than power and a phone charger.
Dongle is for the desk. More like dock than dongle. I don’t want to travel with a thicker laptop for ports some neckbeard on lemmy demanded that even he will never use
Yeah your average user today does their “computing” on a device that they never plug anything into except power. And some of them never plug anything in at all.
I love cables and mechanically rugged tech, but the mainstream does not.
You’re average user is not using separate kbm for a laptop, and if they are they using Bluetooth ones. And there definitely not using a game controller, and even then they’re Bluetooth too. Printers are wireless. So only thing is thumb drive which in my experience most people would rather use cloud storage or airdrop
Power users sure, but you’re average customer doesn’t give a shit.
Because they were already gaslit by techbros.
Eh, you’re average user doesn’t need many ports on their device honestly.
Is that why so many dongles are being sold? Don’t know a single Mac user without one.
You can be certain they would be using more ports if they had any.
Sounds like it’s the Mac users who are wrong. Save some money and throw your apple shit in the trash where it belongs if you don’t like it.

Plugging things in to your work computer is a security risk and likely not allowed by the company if they have any sense.

You just listed a load of wireless devices. How is this proving anything?

Lemmy users trying not to downvote a fact just because they don’t like that the fact exists in reality - impossible challenge.
